Steampunk Halloween

Ever since I have brought home this Victorian wardrobe I saw it as the perfect backdrop for a Steampunk Halloween. What is Steampunk? Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction in where steam power became the energy source in the Victorian era for industry. The steampunk style has a huge following in the art world where fantasy reigns and interprets this science fiction world.

So my world is a Halloween scene of Jack having a little tea in his Victorian parlor while he studies spiders.

He has his microscope out. He has managed to trap one spider under the cloche. A few other spiders have gotten away from him.

Two of the hallmark looks of the steampunk style are gears and goggles. So Jack is sporting a pair of goggles on his Derby hat. We also have a few gears lying about from some of his previous studies.

This spider has gotten away and made a web on this pumpkin.

Under this cloche is a spider Jack has managed to trap, along with a padlock he will need to lock the gate this evening.

Hope you have had a fun visit seeing my interpretation of this Steampunk Halloween.

Sherry, I love all things Steampunk, so I think this post is too cute! I love it!!! The Jack-o-lantern with his Steampunk goggles made me giggle....he is my favorite! He looks like he was on the set of the Panic! at the Disco video Ballad of Mona Lisa!
